This place had cute island decor. Perfect place that we celebrated my son's birthday. Drinks were so fun....including this volcano looking drink that was on fire...literally!! Definitely a must place to have dinner when in Santa Cruz. Did was delicious. I could barely take a pic of appetizers because they were almost gone before I could get my camera out. Sever was super nice and attentive to our party of 12. Thanks Makai!!

The best place in Santa Cruz hands down! Went for the 1st time on Valentine's day 2024. They sat us next to the window over looking the ocean. Beautiful views.The drinks are Freaking the best! They actually put enough liquor to get you buzzed.The food was fabulous! I had the salmon , my husband had the moco Loco.I loved my drink "triumph and diaster" so much that we went back the following night.The 2nd night we went we sat at the bar. OMG! Sit at the bar if you get the chance....read full review
